Finished in one sitting!
This is the first 16 episode drama I watched in one sitting. I enjoyed it that much.
Interesting way to deliver a romance, though. Just sayin’. The attraction level needed for a true romance was lacking. They were attracted but tense, maybe even fearful of each other (not in a dangerous way). I know that’s clumsy but I find my meaning difficult to put into words. Maybe it’s better said that their initial attraction was more realistic for two hurt, nearly 40-year old adults. But later on the attraction didn’t move upward on the meter like I believe it should have.
The best chemistry IMO was between father and daughter. This is my first time watching Yeon Jung Heon and he was great as a dad, journalist, friend, and potential husband. He had a quiet confidence as an investigative journalist. I said out loud, to myself, around episode 7 about Ji Min, “can this guy get any nicer!?!?”
Go Na Hee as Woo Hoo was truly delightful. At her age, she nailed her main lead role and was every bit as good as the other leads.
Eun Soo had a difficult character arc and I believe Lee Yoo Ri delivered the role quite well and in the way it was intended. One couldn’t help but feel sorry for her. She had good chemistry with Ji Min just not great chemistry.
The villains were really good villains. Definitely didn’t like Kim Ho Ran. Se Mi needed to get a grip on reality - she burned her bridge down completely and there was no coming back. I liked Yeon Joon but his character wasn’t given much depth. He was more of a plot device.
The story ,itself, along with the father/daughter duo are what compelled me to keep watching. OST wasn’t especially memorable but it didn’t distract either. I probably won’t rewatch the entire drama, maybe select parts.
It’s a very nice story overall. 8.5/10
